( book available at CRCPress & Amazon.com) Overview This is an intense two day class with special topics included tailored to class interest. The course organization is compact and designed to be able to move at a rapid pace. It includes course material and reliability software that makes learning fast. People are busy so the class is compacted to save downtime and get engineers and managers back in the office to use the tools that they have learned with learning maximized. However, this is not a birds-eye view; the material provides depth and exposure to the industry's reliability and quality science. We start by providing full explanation of how to grow reliability in a commercial environment and translate that into ROI dollars. Reliability growth starts in the design phase using tools like FMEA, reliability predictions, and reverse engineering. We move into the testing phase with describing how to demonstrate reliability with statistically significant tests. We also detail how to perform reliability growth tests such as HALT. A full or partial overview on HALT is available depending on class interest. Reliability statistical test and analysis PART 1: BASIC METHODS IN RELIABILITY & QUALITY 1.

is key and is accessible to the student through our professional DfRSoft software tool. Each student has the software to follow along during the course to help problem solve quickly. This jump-starts one s capability. Accelerated test methods such as shock and vibration and how to analyze your test using DfRSoft's software, for both physics and statistics problems, are demonstrated for all accelerated testing, with clear exercises. The concept of test design by failure modes is presented. Examples are given. All the key accelerated test models (Arrhenius, Humidity, Thermal Cycle, Electromigration) are provided and illustrated. Both simple and advanced reliability math is overviewed, taught efficiently with software examples. The concept of design maturity testing using accelerated test methods and Chi-squared test planning and analysis, again with software exercises, are used to assess products failure rate/mttf. We also detail system reliability analysis including block diagrams, and the different types of redundancy. We include Quality tools such as Cpk, lot sampling, sparing, availability, and normality analysis. Overview methods to analyze field return data to derive an MTBF. As part of reliability analysis a full session is given on Physics of Failure, what equipment to use and when (SEM, Auger, X-RAY, XRF, Focused Ion Beam, etc.) Numerous failure analysis pictures are shown to see first-hand the challenging failure modes and how their mechanisms are identified using such equipment. Key issues on RoHS are overviewed and depending on class interest are detailed. Other special topics include: Shock and Vibration, Advanced ESD concepts and Parametric Reliability Analysis. The course is concluded with how to ensure ROI and quantify reliability growth for management and its cost savings.

Advantage: This Class is offered by DfRSoft and includes software making it the only complete course taught with the full suite of DfR software tools. It is also tailored for your needs. DfRSoft's Advantages You will find this Class to contain far more cost effective practical information than any DfRQ course currently available. The course targets practical needs for industry (not academia).the ROI is higher as well. You get much more for your investment than other similar reliability courses. DfR Software Tool (Based in Excel) As the only DfRQ course taught with complete software, your understanding of reliability and quality will far exceed that of any other course. Although the software is optional, you will receive a trial copy during the class to help learn. So even if you do not purchase the software, you will be able to learn with it during the class. You will find no other software that provides full DfR capability. www.dfrsoft.com Other Advantages Tailored to your company's needs in two ways. First we enquire what you consider the most valuable information to learn about. Then at the start of the class we ask students again what they want to get out of the course.
